Step 2 · Design the Wine Rack Layout

Create a detailed drawing of the wine rack. Calculate the spacing needed for standard wine bottles (typically 3.5-4 inches in diameter). Determine the number of rows and columns of bottle slots. Consider the angled ceiling of the staircase and how the rack will integrate. Decide on the type of slots (e.g., individual cubbies, cradles, or racks). Plan for any support structures or bracing needed.
